7:04 pm
shooting is where the forces have located all entrances leading to hyper on. so you can imagine how many people with working outside of hyper on are trying to get back to their homes. but they cannot because of the closures of checkpoints, all of those directions that have been influenced by these really forces. this also includes reading different styles and cities around have ron, using her to come upstairs to continue looking for the suspect now for palestine is the easiest way the rates are not something that is out of the only thing that read these reviews. what do you happen daily or on a night's basis in different places in the occupied to us bank? the difference is now that it's being more sense or is in high bron because they're looking for the believe to be palestinian suspect. now, 2 days ago, a similar shooting took place,

7:06 pm
shooting or stabbing. but we're talking about 220 for palestinians in the occupied west bank and gaza, who would show by his way, the forces since the beginning of this mid abraham reporting from ramallah. thank you very much, anita. are now in a historic decision. ecuadorian have voted against the oil drilling of a protected area in the amazon that is home to tribes who live in self isolation and is a bio diversity hotspot. a referendum on the issue took place in 10 them with sundays presidential elections. 60 percent voted yes to stop the drilling and this outcome represents a significant blow to the outgoing ecuadorian. president gear, i'm a loss. so fluid campaigned for the project saying that his revenues were crucial to the country's economy. but eco doors indigenous groups have been protesting this decision. here's what we know about this oil drilling operation, which will now have to be closed down. the project is located in the sunni nature
7:07 pm
reserve. in the amazon considered one of the most important bio diverse locations on the planet. the government that ecuador is outgoing, president estimated the whole thing. the drilling will result in the loss of $16000000000.00 over 20 years. the project represents an estimated 12 percent of ecuador is $480000.00 barrels a day. crude oil production, a latin america editor, and the see a new men joins us now from quito. we'll see a bring sent to what that conversation, what that debate was like on the ground, because on the one hand, there is key money for the country. on the other hand, there's a need to protect biodiversity. yes, you're absolutely right. and the, the government and those who believe that oil drilling is necessary, that it must continue in the yes, so the reserve spent a lot of money. they had a very, very large campaign. and that made many people doubt that the that, that the environmental list. mm. hm, i'm sorry. and the indigenous groups that were promoting the ban on oil drilling
7:08 pm
would actually with this. so it was a surprise results, a very, very motional people talking about saving the planet, the necessity to protect. not just the un contacted tribes that live in the us who need a national park put on so the, the recently contacted ones that live there. there are a lot of people living in yes, who need mostly indigenous, almost all of them. and they've been pushed and pushed and pushed off of their territory by the oil drilling companies. and they've been that there's been a lot of violence there because of that. so if there was very that was you for yeah, when the results came out here, finally, late last night, it's almost 60 percent of ecuador ins. voting yes. to stop the drilling and to keep it that way permanently. so what's the impact of this? yes, vote going to be and the impact would be the protection of the sunni environment and which you're going to talk to any environmental list or,
7:09 pm
or experts in this. they will say that that is crucial. not just for helping to combat climate change, but also for finding the, the things that we use for medicine, for drug companies. it's as incredible bio diversity and all those are plants and fung. this is and different things that scientists from all over the world come in search of in the us. so need talk about the, the part about what's going to happen to the economy. what will be the impact that is quite controversial as well? because it turns out that we are hearing from experts that the type of oil it to being drilled in the yes, we need a national reserve is very, very sick. and it's turning out to be very expensive to extract that there are, there are a contracts with chinese companies that continue to drill there, but it's not necessarily the best place in the door to extract barrels of oil. so it really depends on who you talk to. it will of course,
7:10 pm
take some of the funds away from the national coffers, but others would argue that it brings much more to, to the countries wells. both that in terms of biodiversity, i mean human diversity. we'll see it before i let you go. we have to pivot to the other vote on sunday in ecuador, the presidential election as we've had gonzales coming in 1st. but now she's a run off. she's in a run off and it's completely and it's unexpected. with this businessman, mister no. bo, where do you think that's headed? that's a very, very good question. because very few had predicted that daniel noval, i was only 35 years old with almost no political experience comes from an extremely wealthy family. his father tried and failed at least 5 times to run for the presidency, and the fact was going to run for the presidency in this election. and at the last minute, his son stepped in. but he has somehow capture the imagination of
7:11 pm
a lot of people here by not being called so confrontational as of the other candidates were whether or not in the 2nd round, people will really take it as seriously as a, as a 2526 percent of voters did in the 1st round is a big question and whether or not lose several and sal is, can, must, or enough to make up for those votes that you didn't get in this 1st round is also a very big question. will be speaking to her or trying to speak to her very shortly to see what her strategy will be. all right, we look forward to that interview. thank you very much. let's see a newman else's here as latin america added to reporting from quito in guatemala. the anti corruption campaign, or bernardo arevalo has won a presidential run off by a landslide. he won 58 percent of the votes against former 1st lady sandra torres by the rubble of reports from the capital celebrations in the guatemalan capital supporters of the center left anti corruption candidate,
7:12 pm
bid them out of the idea of of cheering his landslide victory over former 1st lady said that authorities, we are out celebrating the seed, we've tempted with our vote, hoping it will flourish. the unable to see by many as a political outside are managed to shake up guatemala as political landscape. one of the biggest electoral surprises in recent memory was looking at because that's what that meant today. lots of mullins have hope we are celebrating the return of the feeling of hope in the streets of our country. 8000 electoral observers were deployed in guatemala to oversee the election following a controversial campaign season. marred by concerns about democracy here being threatened. lexi, i'm going to just almost one the moment. this is possibly the most important election that we've had in the last 38 years because we've had the chance to stop the back fighting that we've experienced in the last 3 years and close the door on
7:13 pm
the threat of authoritarianism. i didn't lose victory in sundays election is seen as the culmination of widespread discontent over worsening crime, corruption and economic stagnation issues that some analysts say have no easy solution. the problem with that i've always expectations are really high. but the problem is, i really hard to fix also fears there could soon be attempts by the opposition to undermine either by those victory. it's an absolutely, it's got a crowd, guatemala cities, historic cetera, as well as sports say that the challenges that lie ahead are massive. none of that seems to matter right now. this is the moment and celebration of algebra, guatemala city. the british nurse has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering 7 babies in her care. lucy led me was found guilty of attempting to murder 6 others at the neo natal hospital unit where she worked,
7:14 pm
letting me refuse to leave herself at the sentencing and prime minister. she soon acts as that he wants to change the laws to stop that from happening again. i think it's cowardly that people who commit such horrendous crimes do not face the victims. and here 1st time the impact that the cons of had on them and their families and loved ones that we are looking and have been at changing the low to make sure that that happens. and that's something that will bring forward into goals. i strongly agree. i go, has the latest on this from london. i have only been 3 of the women who have been handed down a whole life full to majesty deemed so dangerous that the possibility of being released from prison was deemed too dangerous. now lucy, let be joined. the ranks of the killing of 7 babies of a neo natal units in the countess the chest of hospital, as well as the attentive killing of 6 others. now,
7:15 pm
while she did not turn up to hear it has sentencing in court today, the judge addressed the quotes directly as if she was stating that the meditation calculation and coming annual actions. now that will also present some dozen relatives of the victims as well. giving statements detailing the enormous distress that these families stop suffered. also what is being called into question is, why did the hospital leave it so late for these decks to be investigated? that was indeed quite a bit of a contrast between how be consultants will warning the executives of the hospital all the issues. yes, the executives of a hospital launch 2 inquiries initially which failed to include any forensic testing. one of actually police work, holden and investigators will looked at that's when it became obvious of the
7:16 pm
expense of let fees in put into this. nevertheless, there are serious questions being off and the inquiry is being put into place. but there are also. 2 calls for those executives of a hospital to be compelled to give evidence of why they left it. so likes to pull the inquiry again. so do you guys ever? i'll just, sarah love them. still a head on that was a 0. donald trump says he has no need to join the 1st republican debates because his track record speaks for itself and deserts transformed into rivers. the full force of tropical storm hillary bass or is the western coast of the united states the the, brought to you by visit castle. let's go with an update on the monsoon rate is

7:20 pm
debate with other presidential hopefuls on wednesday. he posted on his social media site that he believes voters know how successful his presidency was. is currently the front runner for the republican nomination. it's not even close. and that is despite facing for trials. alan fisher has more on when donald trump might make his next public appearance. a we see is made new public notification of when he's going to come here to atlanta and it was due to all the news conference that assessments to the state that has been cancelled. he was going to outline what he says is a document which would prove his innocence of any of the charges in georgia. his lawyers kind of put a hand on the shoulder and said, look, that's not a good idea. maybe you want to hold that all for a while, so he's not canceled that at the speculation. and certainly the best informed guess is would suggest that he's likely to appear on thursday. there's a couple of reasons for that. one is before the friday deadline, which is obese and means that if he tried to do it on friday and delayed for any
7:21 pm
reason, that would be a problem for him legally. but secondly, if he appears here on thursday, it's absolutely sucks over here out of the room. when all the other american cable networks will be talking about the republican debate on weight and state. all the focus will be on donald trump. and we know that donald trump loves when the world is talking about donald trump. if you look at the polls, donald trump, in the last one of the we can see is pulling 51 percent support of republican voters. that's more than all the other contenders together. so why would you, if you were donald trump, put that at risk by appealing on stage with people who see the intent is to drag. you don't to call you names and criticize your record. there is no upside to donald trump from doing that. so that is why he's decided to give this debate and possibly all the other debates and this it tropical storm hillary has brought heavy rain and high winds to southern california after causing flash floods. and at least one
